Chapter 721: The Conquest of Mongolia (5)
The impression of the Mongols from the Han Dynasty was very poor, mainly from the impression of the pre-Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, when I heard that Mu Jingnan had led a large army to conquer more than a dozen tribes, many people proposed to directly transport the cattle and horses of these tribes back to China as trophies, or they were very upright to the Mongols.
However, as a descendant, Liu Ximing naturally knew that if he wanted to continue to stabilize Mongolia, he could only follow the national harmony route of my rabbit.
Therefore, these references were refuted by him as soon as they came out.
In order to avoid possible speculation among the people, the Dahan Guoye Temple has set up a state-owned business to operate various transactions with herdsmen in Inner Mongolia.
The principle here is mainly to maximize the economic exchanges between Inner Mongolia and the interior on the basis of maintaining small profits.
Personnel and cultural exchanges between the two regions will be accelerated only if economic exchanges are frequent.
That's why Uzhna and the others will encounter such a fair price.
After listening to the words of the shopkeeper, Dalantai took Urina around the other commercial districts with a half-believing feeling, and sure enough, he found that the other goods were also surprisingly cheap, and they were not at all as treacherous as those Han merchants in the past.
Among the commodities sold to Chifeng by the Han people, the grain is only 5 dimes a catty, the iron pot is 5 yuan a bite, and the tea that the Mongolians must have is only 1 yuan a catty.
"The Han Emperor is a good emperor! He really treats us as his own, not at all like the profiteers he used to be. ”
Halfway through the business district, Urina looked at Dharandai Road with bright eyes.
Dalantai straightened his chest in the uniform of the Han Army, and his face was full of pride.
"Of course, my Han Emperor is also the Great Khan of the Mongols, and I believe that sooner or later he will also get the title of Heavenly Khan."
Urina covered her mouth and snickered, reached out and twisted it on Dalantai's shoulder, "How long have you been in the Han army, and you have started to call the Emperor of the Han Dynasty." ”
The two of them suddenly made a mess.
In the Chifeng gathering place, with the arrival of the Han merchant group, the people of the entire Ao Han Department fell into an excited mood.
The fair purchase price of the Han people made the Mongols, who had a good impression of the Han because of the division of cattle and sheep, become even more desperate.
The ethnic policy of the Han Dynasty is quietly playing a role.
In Hulunbuir, 1,500 miles north of Chifeng, the four Mongolian leaders of the Horqin Division, the Xilin Gol Division, and the Uzhumuqin Division, who had been driven by the Han army and wandered all the way here, were being miserably guarded here.
While Mu Jingnan led 4 divisions to attack north from Jingshi and Chengde, Zhou Yuji also led 3 divisions to set off from Shenyang.
All the way to the northeast to capture Alchuka (Harbin) and other places, all the way to the north to attack the Horqin Department.
With Shao Derong's troops, who launched an attack from Ningxia, the whole of Inner Mongolia was plunged into a war.
In the space of four months, the Line of Actual Control of the Han Dynasty advanced more than 600 miles directly to the north from the line of Yulin, Beijing, and Shenyang, basically bringing the entire southern Mongolia of the Han Dynasty under the banner of the Great Han.
In the face of the fierce attack of the Han army, the Horqin tribe was beaten and abandoned its armor, and had to lead tens of thousands of troops to move north.
It wasn't until Hulunbuir that the Han army stopped because the supply line was too long, allowing Horqin to breathe.
However, the prince of Horqin, Zhuo Liketu, was still grief-stricken and indignant, and was expelled like a dog from the Horqin steppe, which was simply a great shame for the Horqin people.
"Shame, shame, even the Mandate of Heaven Khan didn't beat us like this back then, what's wrong with this world, Genghis Khan's heroic spirit no longer protects us?"
In the camp where the remnants of the Mongols gathered, Wu Keshan burst into tears in front of everyone.
The Mongolian princes present were all in tears.
Wu Keshan's younger brother, the owner of the Horqin Left Wing Central Banner, and Prince Manzhu Xili of Heshudarhan Baturu said with a sad face:
"The Han people want to cut off the bloodline of my golden family on the grassland, I heard that they are doing something on the grassland to divide cattle and sheep, and the slaves and untouchables are all reversed, if it continues like this, I am afraid that even our subordinates will not be able to keep it."
"At this time, we Mongols must no longer kill each other, everyone must unite and fight against the damned Han together."
"Yes, we are going to unite to defeat the Han Chinese."
The Mongolian nobles present were all filled with righteous indignation.
It would be fine if you Han people could appease us like Zhushen, but now you want to give our cattle and sheep to slaves, and our wives and daughters to the untouchables, who can endure such a life?
Wu Keshan also came back to his senses at this time, he slammed his fist on his desk, his gray hair shook, and his face was full of fierceness.
"Yes, we must break the net with the Han mermaids, but we have too few people, we have to go and call all the kings of the Waizasak Mongols and fight with the Han people together."
"But those people in the Mongols of Waizazak have not completely surrendered to my Qing Dynasty, how can we ......?"
"What else are you talking about now?"
Wu Keshan scolded with a violent face: "Zhu Shen is incompetent, he knows that he is invincible but he has to provoke the Han people, he thinks about the flowers and rivers of the Han people every day, but he has caused us a disaster, and now you are still willing to be a dog for Zhu Shen?" ”
Manzhu Xili followed loudly, "Yes, we are all descendants of Genghis Khan, how can we be slaves to Zhu Shen, and it will be forgotten when the Heavenly Mandate Khan and others are here."
Now that Dolgon has taken the Manchus up and down and don't know where to go, how can we still use the banner of the Manchus, and I want to see that we should restore the banner of the Great Yuan and call on all the Mongols to fight the Han together. ”
"Yes!"
There was cheering in the big tent.
"Okay, I propose to respect my eldest brother Wu Keshan as Emperor Dayuan, do you all have any opinions?"
Karaqin's Gulu Siqibu shook his head quickly.
"It's not appropriate, we still have to ask for help from the Khalkha and other ministries, and now that we call ourselves emperors, we will definitely cause them to be furious.
I think it is better to leave the position of Emperor Dayuan vacant, and then tell the Mongol tribes in Mobei that whoever contributed the most in the war to defeat the Han people will be Emperor Dayuan, what do you think? ”
The eyes of the Mongolian princes present were all bright.
Wu Keshan forced a smile and clapped his hands, "Good idea, then it's settled, let's send someone to Khalkha for help as soon as possible." ”
Mu Jingnan and the others didn't know about the connection of the Mongolian tribes, but they didn't know anything about it, but they probably wouldn't have any nervousness.
In August of the second year of Yuanwu, after settling down Monan, Mu Jingnan led two divisions of 40,000 horses and successfully joined Zhou Yuji at the foot of Arshan.
It is more than 400 miles away from the Hulunbuir grassland.
"Zhou Dudu"
"Mudutu"
The 60,000 Han army successfully joined the division, which attracted a jubilant atmosphere at the foot of Arshan.
Mu Jingnan and Zhou Yuji immediately decided to send scouts to speed up the investigation of the Mongols' movements.
Dalantai was a member of the new Han army scouts, and the entire scout team numbered as many as 100 people.
However, all of them reverted to their Mongol costumes, pretending to be scattered Mongols and blending into Hulunbuir.
Wu Keshan and the others were already recruiting troops and horses, and they were naturally very welcome to their hundreds of sturdy men with weapons.
Dalantai and others were taken aback when they entered Hulunbuir, and at least more than 200,000 Mongolian cavalry gathered in the entire Hulunbuir grassland.
Among them, 150,000 were gathered from the Mongol tribes in Mobei.
Even Dalantai and others heard an even more terrifying news that the Dharma King Jebtsundamba of Mobei Mongolia personally led people on an expedition.
Seeing the Great Banner of the Dharma King erected on the grassland, Dalantai's scalp was numb, and a group of people quickly sneaked back to report to Mu Jingnan at night.
"What, Jebtsundamba himself came?"
In the Han army camp, Mu Jingnan and Zhou Yuji were not surprised or overjoyed when they heard the news.
"Hahaha, God really help me, Originally, His Majesty also said that he would recover Monan Mongolia first, and then consider the problem of Mobei Mongolia after a few years of stability, but he didn't expect that the Mobei Mongol tribes would send it to the door themselves."
Mu Jingnan looked at Zhou Yuji excitedly, "General Zhou, whether you and I can be promoted to duke depends on this battle, how about it, whether you have the confidence to fight him." ”
